First, is your osteoporosis connected to loss of hormones during and after menopause? Have you been tested for hormone level and for other possible causes? What does "in a bone" mean? What are your dexa scores? Having this may help you and members here explore possible approaches that you might talk with you doc about. There is lots of great info here and elsewhere so that you can do your own research. Many of us here have found that the more information we have will allow us to be advocates for good and informed treatment planning. Is your doctor your PCP or an endocrinologist? How much training and experience do they have in treating osteoporosis?

@gravity3 I will get some of the information. I don’t know what is driving the osteoporosis, hormones, lack of vitamins, or getting older. My calcium levels are high on tests. I take vitamin D since it is always low. I have a supplement with zinc, vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium designed to strengthen bones. My doctor is a PCP and my confidence is low that he is focused on my particular numbers versus prescribing a pill for the generic symptoms. I will post more info soon.
